Any thoughts on this? If it sounds good, any likely water??

I've been down this road a few time, Scott, and am in the process of
traveling down it again with my 7 and 6 yo grandsons. A child that
young has got to catch something to keep his interest, so I would
suggest sunfish/pan fish for his first adventure, or, if availabe, a
small stream with some little brookies that will hit just about
anything.

I spent several hours at a pond with my older grandsons when they were
12/13 teaching them how to cast and even playing a fish (me) before we
actually went fishing. They caught some sunfish/blue gills and within
a few weeks they were at the Rapid catching good size brookies and
salmon.

That's a great idea. I think the campground I'm thinking of has a nice
casting pond, should all else fail. It's going to be a new experience for
me, camping without excessive beer.

And camping without Reid and his dancing bears.
